—editor's note: I left expletive unedited in the "backstory," for the record, but the website software pulled it out!

later in the evening and into the night, @amandapalmer tweeted:
• so we just recorded a bunch of tracks at moog. but we got invited to another friends recording studio in Asheville....so
• we are going to record into the dead of night at echo mountain studios, in Asheville. whiskey has been procured http://twitgoo.com/58pa9

• we've moved to beer. the session is going insanely fucking well. http://twitgoo.com/58rvd

And finally, at around 3am....
• we're done http://twitgoo.com/58sc8
